Daniel McAteer

Supply Chain & Commercial Director, National Gas

Daniel McAteer joined National Gas on the 17th of February in the new role of Supply Chain and Commercial Director, reporting directly to Matt Steele.

Forging strong relationships with supply chain partners is critical and Dan is ensuring we have the right commercial management and governance in place across the business. In doing so, we’ll further develop our maturity as an organisation, drive efficiencies, and align with local supply chains to support our regional business model and make it easier for our supply chain to work with us.

A key priority that Dan is driving is a stronger focus on how we can think and act more commercially as a business to better work with our strategic partners and how we are commercially structured and governed internally.

Alongside this we’ll take a broader perspective in supply chain management, which is vital as we prepare to deliver increased workload in the RIIO-GT3 price control period starting in April 2026. Dan will also be responsible for supporting delivery teams, building the right contract models to further our Hydrogen and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) ambitions, as well as our work to become a trusted collaborator in the Government's Clean Power 30 agenda.

Dan has more than 25 years’ experience in complex construction delivery and commercial activities, gained in the areas of new energy, oil and gas, defence, and heavy engineering. He has held various senior management positions and joins us from Worley where he was Vice President, responsible for Aberdeen Operations and laterally

responsible for the bp Global Green Hydrogen Program. Prior to this, he has also held senior roles at KCA Deutag, Global Energy Group, Petrofac and BAE Systems.
